In today's environment legal orders are generated in a large number of formats by a variety of different government agencies. These documents are then mailed to the bank for processing. When the bank receives the requests (mail, fax, spreadsheet) the process for fulfilling them is highly manual, which is time consuming and can be prone to errors, and there are limited areas where automation is applied. In most cases, the basic types of information, required for processing, are the same across the different request types. By creating a set of standards for electronic file formats for the different request types, benefits will be realized by both the requester and the receiver through automation of the process.
